GAME Australia

Administrators Pricewaterhouse Coopers have confirmed with MCV Pacific that GAME Australia will cease trading this weekend. Remaining stores will be open through Sunday July 8 but will then close down for good, as per the accountancy firm’s June 19 decision to shutter the beleaguered retail chain after efforts to secure a buyer or funding failed.

An anonymous tipster said yesterday all GAME Australia stores would be closing by the end of the week as the retailer prepared for liquidation. Today, GAME’s administrators at PwC have told Kotaku Australia the claims made by the Gamespot source were inaccurate – there are no closure plans in place at the moment.
